INDECENT by Paula Vogel

INDECENT by Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Paula Vogel, is about the evolution of the powerful play "God of Vengeance" (Got fun nekome) by acclaimed writer Sholem Asch, of the early 1900s. Centering on a small band of Yiddish Theatre performers and klezmer musicians (klezmorim) - at times comical and at times poignant - they tell the story of Asch’s social justice play, that led to a production on Broadway’s Apollo Theatre. It opened on February 19, 1923, and it was shut down two weeks later by city officials for depicting two women on stage loving each other, as obscene and “indecent.”
